Chapter 245 The Last Wish of the Ancient Father and Daughter Whose Luck Was Taken Away 12
The good news about Gu Yuanshan came back one rainy morning. He was ranked first in the high school entrance examination.
The villagers came to congratulate her one after another, calling her "Mother Gu" (the wife of a juren).
Mother Gu couldn't stop smiling. Chang'an and Gu Laoliu squatted under the corridor and watched her tirelessly responding.
The same words kept being repeated, and those who came to congratulate were also repeating the same old things.
"I'm so tired of watching. Can they say something different?" Chang'an watched for half an hour, and less than five families sincerely congratulated him. The others just said, "Congratulations to the wife of the juren. Your son Yuanshan is really promising."
The next sentence is, "I heard that it is difficult for children from poor families to succeed in the imperial examinations. I wonder if your family Yuanshan can make further progress?"
She remembered a dimension where he went to take the imperial examination in his freshman year. The villagers were very sensible and were sincerely happy for him when they knew he had passed.
Why do things seem to be different when they come to this dimension?
Gu Laoliu's legs were numb from squatting. He took a look at Chang'an's clothes, which were too small to be suitable for cushioning the floor, so he had to stand up and go into the house to move out a chair.
Finally she could stretch her long legs. He picked up Chang'an and gave her one-third of the seat.
The seat was too small and Changan couldn't sit firmly, so he fell to the ground.
Chang'an:...
She was really honored to have such a father.
Gu Laoliu raised his foot to block and pulled her back. He did not expect this result and quickly diverted Chang'an's attention.
"There are thousands of people with thousands of faces. Who can guarantee that people in every dimension are friendly and easy to get along with? The best way to refute their words is for Gu Yuanshan to be the top scorer in high school and make these people shut up."
Among these people, the ones who least wanted Gu Yuanshan to succeed were Master Gu and Master Gu's family. They were at odds with the third branch, and if Gu Yuanshan succeeded, it would be more painful than killing them.
They have no clan consciousness and are extremely jealous.
Gu Yuanshan's studies were often ridiculed by them. The peasants kept scolding him and mocking him for his wild ideas.
It was after noon that everyone was sent away. After seeing off the last guest, Gu's mother's smiling face immediately fell.
"Bah! A bunch of ignorant people. Even if Yuanshan becomes an official in the future, I will make him leave Fuhua Village alone. If he has the time to help these people, he might as well help those who need help more."
It's not that she is stingy. Having lived in Fuhua Village for most of her life, she knows these people too well.
If you help them build bridges and roads, they will want you to help them build new houses. After you build new houses, they will want you to help them exempt taxes.
They will never be satisfied, nor will they thank you, and they think everything is taken for granted.
Gu Laoliu waited until she finished scolding him before saying to her, "Mom, my daughter and I will be away from home for a while tomorrow."
"Where are you going?" Gu's mother did not stop them from leaving. As a mother, she wanted to know where her son was going.
"To the capital," Gu Laoliu did not hide it from her. As for what he was going to do, she let her imagine it.
Gu Qingfeng ran out of the house, grabbed Gu Laoliu's sleeve, and begged, "Second Uncle, please take me with you. I also want to watch my father take the imperial examination."
"What's so interesting? You can't see him once he enters the examination room. Do you think they are sitting in public for the public to watch?"
"I didn't say I was going to watch him take the exam. I just wanted to see how prosperous the capital is. Xia Zhi said his aunt would come to pick him up to live in the capital soon, so I wanted to see how good the place that Xia Zhi longed for was."
Chang'an:...
"Brother, when uncle passes the imperial examination and becomes an official, you can go to live in the capital. You don't need to envy Xia Zhi."
She thought that Xia Zhi would never see Xia Qiuju coming to pick him up in this lifetime. Xia Qiuju was in trouble now, and all the money she brought from home was cheated away. She couldn't see Wei Ang again, and now she was begging on the streets.
Wei Ang hired someone to cheat away all the money. He thought that as long as Xia Qiuju didn't have any money on her, she wouldn't be able to do anything evil.
But he underestimated the perseverance of the reborn girl. Unless Wei Ang stayed in the palace all the time, Xia Qiuju would find an opportunity.
Chang'an thought, shouldn't Gu Qingfeng and Gu Qinglan be in the academy today?
"Big Brother, Second Brother, are you guys asking for leave?"
"The academy will be closed for three days, and we will be back soon." Gu Qinglan saw that Gu's mother looked as if she would beat you to death if you dare to take leave, so he hurriedly explained, fearing that he would be beaten if he was any later.
Mother Gu stopped the two brothers who wanted to go to the capital with her, "You only have three days off. It's hard to go to the capital, and you still want to go to the capital. Go and study. There are plenty of opportunities to go to the capital. There's no need to rush."
Mrs. Gu also advised, "Your grandmother is right. Your first priority now is to study."
Actually, Gu Laoliu wanted to take them with him and use the free driver, but Gu's mother and Gu's wife were against it, so he couldn't agree to them.
***
Before dawn the next day, Gu Laoliu carried the soundly sleeping Chang'an on his back and left Fuhua Village with Yinlang. They released the carriage from the space after leaving the village.
He drove the carriage and Silver Wolf led the way. In order not to cause panic on the road, Silver Wolf put on an invisibility talisman.
They found Gu Yuanshan in the city and forced him to set off ahead of time.
"Little brother, what are you doing going to the capital so early?" Gu Yuanshan and Yun Yue sat on the shaft of the carriage together, Gu Laoliu and Chang'an sat on the roof, and Yinlang sat in the carriage.
Yun Yue looked at their seriously ill way of riding the bus and was somewhat skeptical about whether he could really help such an unreliable person to get revenge.
Gu Laoliu said lazily, "Go play, what else can you do? Of course, we play and you study hard."
"Thank you so much."
Yun Yue and Gu Yuanshan took turns driving the carriage along the way. They had left their own mule cart in the provincial capital, and they had sent a letter back, asking Gu's mother and Gu's eldest sister-in-law to drive the mule cart back home.
They walked slowly on the road, and it took them four months to reach the capital. Then they asked who else was there? Others who started later than them all arrived earlier than them.
After settling down in the inn, they each went about their own business. Gu Laoliu and Chang'an went to look for the time-traveling girl, Yun Wanqing. She and her suitors were currently performing a drama about the eldest daughter of the general's mansion and her ten suitors.
Changan, Gu Laoliu: ...
Is this the only woman in the world? There are so many daughters of wealthy families and good girls, but they can't even see one.
Surprisingly, they also saw Wei Ang. Chang An really wanted to slap him to death. "I was just about to praise you for being blind, but you haven't had a good time at all. It seems that it is necessary to change the crown prince."
Wei Ang was so frightened by the familiar voice that he almost dropped the folding fan in his hand.
Don't be so scary, okay? He had already returned to Beijing, but he didn't expect that the father and daughter would still catch up with him.
He refuted frantically in his heart, "No, he didn't fancy this Miss Yun, he just thought she was weird and particularly out of place, so he wanted to come and see what was going on?"
